And I Thought I was Old...

Today my group traveled to several nearby temples. I wasn't sure what expect to because we were not given the names of the temples before loading into our stylish van this morning:


The ever bumpy and insane ride was worth it, though! Because this is what we saw...
The Gommateshvara Temple in Karkala. Built in 1432 and brought up the giant hill on which it now rests by 25 elephants!

This is the panoramic view around Gommateshvara Temple.






Another temple across the way, except even older! Built over 600  years ago.







Lastly, we visited a beautiful Roman Catholic church.


There was a "Miraculous Pond" at the church with money coins and several huge goldfish and catfish swimming around.
